Overview
In my role as Production Manager at Curio Group, I oversee three key types of production: LMS interface design, in-platform course builds, and multimedia content.
Across each stream, I balance the needs of clients, learners, designers, and developers — ensuring complex projects are delivered with clarity, efficiency, and impact.

Context
For many clients, their LMS is the backbone of the learning experience. Yet, issues often arise: misaligned branding, inconsistent navigation, or feedback from students about usability. My role is to guide organisations through the redesign or creation of LMS interfaces (primarily Moodle and Canvas) that are both visually aligned with their brand and tailored to their learners.
Workflow
Discovery: I lead kick-off workshops with stakeholders to surface goals — whether that’s onboarding to a new LMS, adapting for a specific business line, or addressing student dissatisfaction. At this stage, I also ingest brand guidelines, clarify demographics, and confirm project milestones.
Alignment: I check that the desired learner journey and page requirements are understood and validated with developers, ensuring feasibility before design work begins.
Lo-Fi Design: I translate abstract goals into tangible prototypes, running workshops to walk clients through grey-box screens. My focus is on listening carefully, clarifying intent, and using Curio’s component library to rapidly iterate.
Hi-Fi Design & Handover: Once alignment is achieved, I guide the transition into branded hi-fi designs. I then oversee developer handover, ensuring designs are faithfully implemented, tested locally, and signed off in the client’s environment.
QA & Review: Using contextual tools like Hypothesis or Userback, I manage the QA loop, capturing feedback, prioritising fixes, and ensuring the final product is smooth and learner-ready.
Client Value
Clients leave this process with an LMS that not only feels consistent with their institutional identity but also enhances the learner journey — improving navigation, clarity, and satisfaction.

Context
Large-scale course production projects often involve significant volume — sometimes up to four units of competency, equating to 12 courses — each requiring consistency, accuracy, and timely delivery. My role is to ensure these builds run smoothly, balancing client expectations, internal workflows, and the learner experience.
Workflow
Discovery & Planning: Early engagement with clients and Curio’s senior learning designers ensures clear requirements, realistic timelines, and resourcing forecasts. I map out workloads across the production team, flag risks, and establish milestones in project management software.
Brand & Media Setup: I coordinate the development of branded asset libraries, graphics, and interactive elements. These resources are validated with the client to guarantee alignment before full production begins.
Pilot Module: A demo module is built first to test layout, hierarchy, and brand application. This reduces risk and sets a benchmark for the rest of the course build.
Scaled Production: Builds are managed through agile sprints, with regular stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. I assign tasks, oversee progress, and maintain open lines of communication with clients for rapid clarification and feedback.
Quality Assurance: QA is iterative and thorough, involving both internal review with learning designers and external client testing. Feedback loops are carefully tracked, with fixes actioned systematically.
Holistic Review: Once multiple modules or courses are complete, I lead a full-scale review across the entire learning pathway to ensure consistency and quality.
Client Value
By managing volume with structure and transparency, I deliver multi-course projects on time without compromising collaboration or quality. Clients gain scalable, branded, and learner-friendly courses that reflect their pedagogical goals while building trust through clear communication and reliable delivery.

Context
Video and animation often bring abstract or complex topics to life. These projects demand creative collaboration and precise production management to stay on-time and on-budget. My role is to manage the process from discovery through to polished delivery.
Workflow
Discovery & Scripting: I collaborate with learning designers and clients to clarify messaging and draft scripts. At this stage, my focus is on balancing pedagogical clarity with narrative flow.
Storyboarding: Once scripts are aligned, I oversee the creation of detailed visual storyboards. These help clients “see” their content in advance and reduce ambiguity before production.
Asset Creation & Animation: I coordinate designers and animators to develop visual assets, ensuring they are both on-brand and visually engaging. Animation workflows are managed in phases, with draft exports shared for iterative feedback.
Sound & Voiceover: I arrange for voiceover talent, manage sound mixing, and ensure the final audio complements the visuals without detracting from learning clarity.
Review & Export: I manage multiple review rounds, ensuring feedback is logged and addressed before final export.
Client Value
Clients receive multimedia assets that not only elevate their courses visually but also strengthen comprehension by presenting content in accessible, memorable formats.
